I replaced my car battery a few years ago thinking it was just going to be $50. $175 later...

Can confirm, am also RAV4 owner who had to pay $350 for an AGM battery.

A new rav4? Crazy there are enough electronics running that a lead acid battery wouldn't be up to the task!

Mine is a 2017 model. It is a hybrid so there are more electronics. The battery is stored in the trunk and that may be why it’s AGM, if I remember correctly the lead acid batteries can let out some pretty toxic fumes while charging!
